    		Dr. Joseph Priestley, of Leeds, England, made the first publicly acclaimed glass
    of drinkable carbonated water in 1767 by pouring water back and forth over a
    brewery vat where the liquid could absorb carbon dioxide from the rising fumes.
    This earned him the nickname 'father of the soft drinks industry.' See:
